Joseon’s last royal family returns to center court-INSIDE.
A movie about The Last Princess Deokhye.

Koreans have probably never been as interested in the last royalty of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) as they are now.

There have been slow but conspicuous scholarly attempts in recent years to re-examine the final years of the fallen dynasty – usually considered a shameful period of Korean history.

But with last month’s release of “The Last Princess,” a film about Princess Deokhye (1912-89), many Koreans are demonstrating curiosity and even affection toward the royal family, who they really were and what it would’ve been like to be them.
